I Broke Off Our Engagement to Marry a Beautiful Educated Youth, So Why Are You Crying?

In his past life, Li Lang lived half a lifetime in misery and trusted the wrong people, meeting a bitter end. Then he was reborn in 1977, the year everything changed.

You think I'm a nobody? You laugh at me for being useless? Little do you know, I'm the first ten-thousand-yuan household in my village!

Li Lang rises from adversity, face-slaps his fiancée, marries the daughter of a high-ranking official, rides the wave of reform and opening up, seizes the opportunity to contract land to individual households, and reaps all the rewards of his era.

Starting out farming in the countryside and dabbling in shady dealings, he builds his fortune from nothing, climbing to the top step by step. With a beautiful wife and untold wealth, he reaches the pinnacle of life!
